Milner is an associate professor of education and a founding director of the graduate program on learning, diversity, and urban studies in the Department of Teaching and Learning at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College.

The volume addresses an issue that is critical for teacher preparation: preparing preservice and inservice teachers for the racially diverse student populations they will teach, AACTE said in a press release. Milner's book is one that addresses real-life issues and dilemmas with vivid case studies, which illustrate the challenges candidates face as they develop into culturally responsive teachers, Jennie Whitcomb—associate dean for teacher education at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the chair of the AACTE committee overseeing the awards—said in the release.
